al_bro Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 According to the weather forecast it's going to warm up this weekend. Possibly 20 degrees on Sunday somewhere. I'm sure there are a few mutations of this virus around. An expert in the WHO said that mutations are nearly always weaker than the original virus. It seems like the unfortunate people who suffer most are not just the elderly, but the ones who catch the original version. George Alagiah, the BBC news reader had a test when he went for his routine cancer checkup and it came back positive. Although his immune system is shot to pieces by the Chemo. he didn't realise he had it. His only symptom was a bit of a temperature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my dad's work colleagues passed away yesterday after contracting it last week. He was in his late 60's. My dad (70) has got a persistent cough that's been there for around a week now. No other symptoms and he feels fine at the moment. I'm calling him about four times a day to check up on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At last! Someone who pops dark chocolate into a chilli. Really does something for the flavour. On the subject of mince, I've got a fantastic recipe for Mongolian beef. It takes a fair bit of prep, quite a lot of ingredients, but the results are well worth it. If anyone wants to give it a try, I'll post the recipe.

I can't get liquid smoke anywhere? Some bastards must be stockpiling it. Let's make sure there's a reckoning on the other side for the cunt from Wetherspoons, the cunt from Sports Direct, the cunts stockpiling liquid smoke and any cunt who's tried to profit from this crisis.

Are you with me on this @jorvik_latic? Yes and no. I'm ok with the cooking of mince so all the moisture evaporates - you get caramelisation on the meat (I don't always bother though). Unless you're saying that it should be diced beef and then I'm definitely in agreement, proper chili. Liquid smoke? No, no, no. If you want authenticity, use chipotle peppers for the smokiness. Or a bit of smoked paprika works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I either go for slow cooked beef shin or just plain old minced beef. And what's wrong with the liquid smoke? A drop is ace in with baked beans and all. Some people.
